Data Mishaps Night is a free, virtual yearly event that we host for the data community. We feature a lineup of data mistake stories with a focus on the human aspect of data work and lessons learned the hard way. The event offers a fun, cathartic and supportive environment to learn from your fellow data partitioners.
